Letter from the Guardian;

/// Well it's curtains for Camilla - and Im not just talking about her dress sense ///

[Gromit]

It is an utter disgrace that Harriet Harman handed them £3million.

[Svejk]

What has Hattie Pie got to do with it?

[Gromit]

Did you not look at your own link. It is illustrated with a picture of Harmon and the photo caption says sh gave them £3million.

Read it again, Gromit.

I heard Boris being interviewed this morning on the Today Program, and he was full of praise for Batmanghelidjh, as has almost everybody else been, for many years. But there is obviously something wrong about this charity.

It not very clear exactly what the problem is. The Charity has done some wonderful work and if it closes tonight it would be a terrible shame.

No, it must have a different caption in my lap-top.
Or are you having a gromit-gag?

[douglas9401]

I've had experts in politics check and double check the detail and I can confirm that Hairyass Harpic is a Labour politician and not currently in a position to dish out wads of public cash to dodgy Carmen Miranda impersonators due to not being in government.

Caption under the photo of Harriet Harman...

// Reason: Government sources said the closure was triggered after the Cabinet Office demanded the return of a £3million grant it gave last week. //

How to get the cash back? Could be a case for Batman....

[mikey4444]

Dougie...LOL !

I know this is off-topic but just how anybody sitting opposite this woman in a long meeting can refrain from getting a severe migraine is beyond me !

"Reason: Government sources said the closure was triggered after the Cabinet Office demanded the return of a £3million grant it gave last week. Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman is pictured visiting the charity in April"

Is the full caption Gromit. Play the game and admit an innocent interpretation error before it gets silly.

[mikey4444]

Gromit...according to Wiki, she came to this country from Iran/Persia when she was 11 years old and is now a British citizen.

[mikey4444]

Dougie is right Gromit...you have made an (understandable) mistake. This affair has nothing to do with Harriet Harman.

[Gromit]

// This affair has nothing to do with Harriet Harman. //

You mean the Daily Mail has printed a picture of a Labour politician by mistake, and they should have used a mugshot of the Tory Minister responsible?

I call that sloppy journalism.

//The Charity has done some wonderful work and if it closes tonight it would be a terrible shame.//

So did Jimmy Saville, but it appears some of the same has been happening here.

[douglas9401]

Your grasp of reality seems to be somewhat tenuous today Gromit.

Caption under photo says

///Government sources said the closure was triggered after the Cabinet Office demanded the return of a £3million grant it gave last week.

Don't see any connection between HH and the grant in there!
